only a pistol is an semi-automatic. revolvers are not semi auto.

A "pistol" is a generic term to refer to ANY handgun, revolver or Semi-automatic.

Wrong! Only some one completely unfamiliar with hand guns nomenclature would call a revolver a pistol. A revolver is commonly referred to as: "revolver, wheel gun or shooter (short for 6 shooter)." A semi automatic is commonly referred to as: "semi auto or pistol."
